Netanyahu to rally US Congress support amid tensions with BidenWASHINGTONSecurity fencing has been erected around the permitted of the U.S. Capitol grounds ahead of Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu's address to a Joint Session of Congress tomorrow night on July 23, 2024 in Washington.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will deliver a landmark speech to the U.S. Congress Wednesday, seeking to rally support at a time of tensions between his country and its main military backer over the war in Gaza.
Prior to departing Israel on Monday, Netanyahu said he would "seek to anchor the bipartisan support that is so important for Israel" in his address to Congress.
Hamas militants also seized 251 hostages, 116 of whom are still in Gaza, including 44 the Israeli military says are dead.
Publicly, Biden has voiced strong support for Israel.
